Lessons From FurButt

You are the best Mama ever and I will lick your face to prove it.

Gia Augustine-Glasier

I could write a blog post about FurButt every single day. There’s always something that she’s teaching me. Because she’s so wise and full of hugs and kisses, I figure she comes from Someplace Else like Heaven or the future or maybe she’s really God in disguise.

Here’s her schedule for today:

• get up early so we can go for a walk and poop
• watch the sun come up and wake up the neighbors because you don’t wanna miss any of this day and yes it’s worth yip-yapping about
• take a morning nap, preferably outside under Tree
• back inside, eat part of Tall Thin Dude’s pancake
• pretend you didn’t so Mama gives you breakfast 😉
• nudge Mama and get her on the tready, watch her carefully the whole time
• head back outside because Tree is lonely and needs to be peed on
• if the neighbors aren’t up yet, they will be because it’s time to bark at the guys harvesting the grapes
• nap just because…

It’s time for me to head out to run errands and I’m sure she’ll continue to nap, even though I’ve asked her to fold the laundry and give the floors a quick sweep. Sigh. She’s cute, yes, but not task-oriented or handy.

All in all, though, she slows me down. Picks me up when I’m feeling blue. Snuggles in when I’m feeling lonely. Asks no questions, solves no problems. Gazes into my soul. Grounds and calms me.

She’s like a big bowl of popcorn, comforting and a little messy but always worth it.

If today you’re feeling a little lost or out of sorts, let your pet comfort you. No pet? Head to a shelter or a friend’s house who has pets. The vibration of an animal is healing, just so simple and without agenda. Pure, sloppy kisses and hugs and all it’ll cost ya is a good belly-rubbin’. And maybe a walk around the block.

Edge-y, joyful, pondering…
